With those that I saw suffer...

This island's mine.
Caliban, Act 1, Scene 2
Full fathom five thy father lies.
Of his bones are coral made.

The very instant that I saw you, did

Ferdinand, Act 3, Scene 1
Be not afeard. The isle is full of noises,
Sounds, and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices
That, if I then had waked after long sleep
Will make me sleep again; and then in dreaming
The clouds methought would open and show riches
Ready to drop upon me, that when I waked
I cried to dream again.
Caliban, Act 3, Scene 2

as dreams are made on, and our little life
is rounded with a sleep.

How many goodly creatures are there here!
How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world,
That has such people in’t!

... the rarer action is
In virtue than in vengeance.
Prospero, Act 5, Scene 1
I'll break my staff,
Bury it certain fathoms in the earth,
And deeper than did ever plummet sound
I'll drown my book.
Prospero, Act 5, Scene 1
As you from crimes would pardon'd be,
Let your indulgence set me free.
Prospero, Act 5, Scene 1
